I hope you're right Firewire,

I'd be a sad bulldog (angry, but sad nonetheless) if BT were not available for MY05. BT is the main reason why I waited since June for an MY05 instead of MY04.

I am trying to contact Beewang, who has picked up his MY05 545i in Germany, to see if BT was indeed there.

Bee, if you're reading this, please confirm

speedracerF4i,

I know how you feel. I held out 6 months for my M3 because they stated they were sure adaptive headlights and LED taillights were coming standard on MY04. Just like now with BT I couldn't get a straight answer from BMWNA. They ended up not putting the adaptive headlights on the car.

Well, when it comes to mechanical engineering, Germany still rules. However, Japanese cars seems to have the upperhand on electronics and other electrical components. I haven't checked, but I wonder if Acura or Lexus forum have any woes regarding their blue tooth, navigation, or satelite radios. I would strangely feel somewhat better, if they do.

Hi,

For EU cars there is a retrofit option available, and it works !

Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy...

Glad you're having serious fun in DE. You've been inhaling a little too much of that M6 exhaust havent ya, that's why you're so high dude

Are you riding with the ring taxi? or are you lapping your own car? I am so anxious to hear your detail review on the car in the track. Cause' I won't be able to make to the ring like I planned.

Thanks for the info. Let me know if you're able to achieve that magical blue tooth connection.

Drive safe

Part numbers and prices, if possible? In the US aunt just picked up her 2004 545i and needs bluetooth. BMWUSA has no idea what's going on.

Thanks in advance.

Blue tooth...sounds more like Long Tooth.
